Gnocchi with Grilled Grapefruit and Asparagus
This is our 300th post on Vegetarian & Cooking! It's amazing we've had so many posts in just over a year. Check out some of our earlier posts and look for lots more in the future!
I love grilling, but usually when I think of grilled food, grapefruit, asparagus and gnocchi are not the first three things that come to mind. But I found this recipe from A Spicy Perspective that combines all three and the grill. It turns out the grill is a good way to make lots of foods. This was also a great way to get both a fruit and a vegetable into a single meal. This would also be good to impress people with because all the colors make the dish look good.
Ingredients:
-1 grapefruit-1 asparagus bunch
-1 box potato gnocchi
-1 Tbsp olive oil
-1 Tbsp butter
-1 Tbsp flour
-1/4 cup heavy cream
-1 cup vegetable stock
-Salt and pepper
-Chives for garnish
Cut the grapefruit into 8ths. |
Slice the ends off the asparagus. |
Coat both in oil and salt. |
Melt the flour, butter, and cream in a pan over medium heat. |
Add the vegetable stock. We used a burner on the grill and it got pretty hot. Remove from heat and set aside. |
Grill the grapefruit for about 2-3 minutes on each side. |
The asparagus takes about the same amount of time. It was a little difficult to turn over without it falling through the grates. |
Add the gnocchi to the roux and coat. |
Put everything on one plate. Add salt, pepper, and green onions to the gnocchi. |
Eat by mixing everything together in one delicious bite. |
Or squeeze the grapefruit over the pasta. |
